Preparing Botswana for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Botswana is ill-prepared for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). It has no 4IR strategy. Its human resource development  systems are failing. It has limited internet connectivity. Data costs are high. It has no innovation capacity to speak off.  Business uptake of technology is low. 

A UDC government will invest in the three critical 4IR capabilities of first rate human capital, first rate infrastructure,  and business sophistication. We will subsidise data usage for students and unemployed youths and provide facilities with high speed connectivity and computers to provide platforms for ICT graduates to engage in programming, coding, and software development. We will establish a 4IR  

Presidential Task Force to advise government on transition to the 4th Industrial Revolution. 

Our manifesto sets out five key result areas in which a UDC government will pursue results to build a future of inclusive prosperity. The five areas are Governance, Anti Corruption and Human Rights, Economy and Jobs, Labour and Employment, Education, Training & Human Resource.
